Altered Gear

From The Cycle: Frontier Wiki
Altered gear UI

Altered Gear is gear that is enhanced by Progenitor tech by using The Forge. They have additional perks that make them even more powerful.

See Also Icon.pngSee also: The recipes to create each perk is found at The Forge article.

Each perk can only be applied to certain types of equipment, as seen in the Compatibility column. The strength of the perk is completely random. The rarity of the gear does not impact the resulting strength in any way.
